Verse 1

Look into the mirror
What do I see
All the imperfections
That define me
Thought I was a man
But I'm still a boy
Everything I am
Still trying to avoid

Pre Chorus

I know the golden rule
Treat another like
You want to be treated too
But lately I've been hating
On myself it's true
Beat up my heart
'Til it's black and blue

Chorus

How can I love
Can I love can I love You
If I can't even love myself
I try to hide that
I don't feel worthy
But the truth it will always tell
What You carry always shows
What You bury it still grows
How can I love
Can I love can I love You
If I can't even love myself

Verse 2

Normal conversation
Seems to get harder
I try to hold my tongue 'cause
It's been getting sharper
I'd open up the gate but
I can't find the key
Maybe I'm afraid afraid
Of what You'll see

Pre Chorus

I know the golden rule
Treat another like
You want to be treated too
But lately I've been hating
On myself it's true
Beat up my heart
'Til it's black and blue

Chorus

How can I love
Can I love can I love You
If I can't even love myself
I try to hide that
I don't feel worthy
But the truth it will always tell
What You carry always shows
What You bury it still grows
How can I love
Can I love can I love You
If I can't even love myself

Bridge

I need you to pray for me
Need you to stay here with me
Though I've pushed
You away from me
Don't turn away from me

Bridge

I need you to pray for me
Need you to stay here with me
Though I've pushed
You away from me
Please don't You turn away

Interlude

Can You love
Can You love
Can You love me
Can You love
Can You love me
Can You love
Can You love

Chorus

Can You love
Can You love
Can You love me
If I can't even love myself
I try to hide that
I don't feel worthy
But the truth
It will always tell
What You carry always shows
What You bury it still grows
How can I love can
I love can I love You
If I can't even
Love myself

Outro

Can You love
Can You love
Can You love me
Can You love
Can You love me
